Spumoni is an ice cream dessert made from chocolate and vanilla ice creams, candied cherries and pistachios. Keeping the same flavors, we made a fudge-like truffle square studded with dried cherries and pistachios. Be sure to cut the squares very small, as the flavors are rich. Store in the refrigerator, but let them come to room temperature for serving.

Spumoni Truffle Squares

Start to finish: 2 hours 15 minutes (15 minutes active)

Makes 64 squares

Two 12-ounce bags white chocolate bits

14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup lightly chopped pistachios

1 cup lightly chopped dried cherries

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Coat a 9-by-9-inch pan with cooking spray. Line with waxed or parchment paper, allowing excess to overhang the edges of the pan.

In a medium saucepan over medium-low, combine the white chocolate bits and sweetened condensed milk. Heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla, pistachios and cherries. Transfer to the prepared pan. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips over the top. Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.

Using the overhanging edges of the waxed or parchment paper to help, lift the truffle square out of the pan. Trim any uneven edges, then cut into 1-inch squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
